We’re hold our Workers’ Day at the theatre the first Sunday of each month and would love your help!

It’s a chance to roll up your sleeves and support the behind-the-scenes work that keeps our productions on stage. Jobs can include set building, painting, tidying, organising and general theatre maintenance.

You’re welcome to bring your own tools if you have them, but no experience is needed — there are plenty of tasks for everyone, and guidance will be on hand throughout the session.

We meet at 11am and work through to 2/3pm. You don’t have to stay the whole session, any time spared is appreciated.

Whether you can spare an hour or stay for the whole day, every bit of help makes a huge difference. Come along, lend a hand, and enjoy being part of what makes our theatre thrive.

Charlotte Brontë has a confession about how one sister became an idol, and the other became known as the third sister. You know the one. No, not that one. The other, other one… Anne.

This is not a story about well-behaved women. This is a story about the power of words. It’s about sisters and sisterhood, love and jealousy, support and competition.

Sarah Gordon’s new play is an irreverent retelling of the life and legend of the Brontë sisters, and the story of the sibling power dynamics that shaped their uneven rise to fame.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Glengarry Glen Ross and Speed-The-Plow, takes us into the lives of two actors: John, young and rising into the first flush of his success; the other Robert, older, anxious, and beginning to wane. In a series of short, spare, and increasingly raw exchanges, we see the estrangement of youth from age and the wider, inevitable and endless cycle of life, in and out of the theatre.

P. Dowd insists on including his friend Harvey in all of his sister Veta’s social gatherings. Trouble is, Harvey is an imaginary six-and-a-half-foot-tall rabbit. To avoid future embarassment for her family—and especially for her daughter, Myrtle Mae—Veta decides to have Elwood committed to a sanitarium. At the sanitarium, a frantic Veta explains to the staff that her years of living with Elwood’s hallucination have caused her to see Harvey also, and so the doctors mistakenly commit her instead of her mild-mannered brother. The truth comes out, however; Veta is freed, and the search is on for Elwood, who eventually arrives at the sanitarium of his own volition, looking for Harvey. But it seems that Elwood and his invisible companion have had a strange influence on more than one of the doctors. Only at the end does Veta realize that maybe Harvey isn’t so bad after all.

WARNING: You may laugh your knickers off

Meet Myra, Sylvia, Helen and Jessica in this hilarious show.

A successful barrister, specialising in divorce, Myra had always considered herself a together sort of person. That is, until she began to develop the symptoms of you know what…and her rat of a husband left her for a big blonde bimbo from his office.

Jessica’s husband has worked hard and made lots of money and they both enjoy the finer things in life. Her life seemed perfect until her mid-life crisis began but she’s coping with the help of her friends and the vicar. She just wishes that the vicar could explain why when God made man he didn’t try a little harder?

Sylvia has been married to Joe since she was twenty…and has been bored with him since she was twenty-one. She’s now decided that life is for living and she’s making up for lost time.

Helen, a widow, whose only daughter has left for university, is feeling a bit lonely. Helen tries to take one day at a time; it’s just that sometimes, several days attack her at once.
